Set the pink ball mass as 2 kg mass and the blue ball mass as 3kg. The position of blue ball could be -1 and pink ball could be +1. Set the initial velocity of pink ball as -1.5 m/s and that of the blue ball as +3 m/s. 1. Calculate the initial and final kinetic energy values for both balls separately and then the total. 2. Calculate the momenta before and after the collision for each ball. 3. Calculate the final velocity values for each ball
Set the pink ball mass as 2 kg mass and the blue ball mass as 3kg. The position of blue ball could be -1 and pink ball could be +1. Set the initial velocity of pink ball as -1.5 m/s and that of the blue ball as +3 m/s.
1. Calculate the initial and final kinetic energy values for both balls separately and then the total.
2. Calculate the momenta before and after the collision for each ball.
3. Calculate the final velocity values for each ball.
Initial kinetic energy:
For pink ball= -1.5 m/s; The formula is = 1/2 mv2
=1/2( 2*(-1.5)2
=2.25 joules
For blue ball= 1/2 mv2
= 1/2 (3 *(3)2
=13.5 joules
